Ride of Your Lives.

Mumbai is a city packed with people who hardly have any time for leisure. The citizens are so busy that they don't get time to enjoy things like walks and amusement parks. So to give its citizens, a feel of amusement parks and the rides which get your heart racing, Mumbai has come up with a rather innovative idea. They've made amusement rides on every road! (Or have they made every road into a ride?) Moving on, one can't help but get onto one of these the moment they step out of the house. No need to go to EsselWorld! You're going to have a blast on every turn and straight path!

The best ride Mumbai has to offer is called  'The Crater Run'. It's all crater sized potholes and no roads, a back breaking, motion sickness inducing, fun time is guaranteed! Hold onto your seats folks because you are about to experience what it feels like to ride on the moon right here in Mumbai!

'Rodeo'. People love Rodeo! Rodeo is similar to riding 'The Crater Run' except that it has smaller potholes covering the entire road. You'll experience what a rodeo feels like when the bull is trying to toss him of its back. You have to hold on for dear life. If you're in a rickshaw then may God be with you.

"Mountain". The speed breakers in Mumbai are as tall as mountains and they seem to appear out of thin air. These speed breakers will not only break speed but they'll also break your back.

'The Great Dip' a ride which will attempt to throw you out of your seat .Don't forget to buckle that seat belt. So you're cruising down this relatively nice road, all happy about how smooth the sailing is when suddenly, out of no where this gigantic pothole appears and you dive into it and come back up at great speed.  Fun, isn't it? Mumbai has some great obstacle courses too. In these courses you have to dodge cows, errant drives, cars parked haphazardly, the great dips and other people with a strong death wish. Good luck with that!

If you prefer sitting in your car and listening to the melodious tunes of horns,and stopping with a jerk every 5 seconds  you can try the ride called the 'The Rush Hour'. It's so exciting, and it's open in the mornings and evenings. Don't miss it! ( You don't have the option to miss it ).

I think I've covered all the amazing rides Mumbai has. The rides which beat the best amusement parks hands down.

The best time to experience all of these rides at once is during the monsoons, the rain makes it oh so exciting! Being in a rickshaw will enhance the fun as you'll also get a free pass to Water Kingdom. Feel free to come anytime during the year too because a minimum of two rides are functional at all times.The scared/exhilarated feeling of going on the meanest rides, will stick with you forever and won't cost you a dime, it will only cost you a headache, a broken back, and a happy mood and maybe a heart attack if you're faint hearted. Have a nice time! You have no option but to visit again and again.

All this being said, I still love Mumbai.
